October 16, 2012 22801 Views 0 comment Print

The various clauses of the MOUs need to be examined in the light of the criteria laid down by the Courts to determine whether the doctors attached to the appellant hospital are employees of the hospital. The test which is uniformly applied in order to determine whether a particular relationship amounts to employer-employee relationship is the existence of a right of control in respect of the manner in which work is to be done by the person employed

AO cannot reject stay application without apply his mind to facts & circumstances of case

October 16, 2012 3093 Views 0 comment Print

It is a cardinal principle of construction that when a legislation confers power, its amplitude cannot be cut down by instructions or rules or regulations made by subordinate authorities. Instructions and Rules can only supplement but can never supplant or limit the width of the statutory powers. In this case, the AO – as is evident from a reading of the impugned order – has not applied his mind at all to the facts much less considered what are the circumstances which either justify the grant of relief or its refusal. Furthermore, even the petitioner does not appear to have been given any opportunity to make even a briefest submission in support of its case.

Exemption U/s. 11 cannot be denied for Acceptance of Shares as Corpus fund & Utilisation of its sale proceeds towards donation to Corpus of other trust

October 16, 2012 14579 Views 0 comment Print

Corpus donation could not be considered as general donation in AY 2006-07 and 2007-08, merely on the ground of its utilisation in AY 2008-09 for giving corpus donation to other charitable institutions. Further, as per instruction No. 1132/CBDT dated 05.01.1978, it has been clarified that the payment of a sum by one charitable trust to another for utilization by the donee trust towards its charitable objects is proper application of income for charitable purposes in the hands of the donor trust, and the donor trust will not loose exemption u/s 11.

(i) Principle of mutuality applies under the Act. As such, there can be no deduction of interest paid by Indian branch to head office/other overseas branches. (ii) However, the assessee is entitled to deduction of interest paid to head office/other overseas branches as per the terms of the DTAA.(iii) Mutuality applies in relation to income earned by the Indian branch from head office/other overseas branches.

In short the department’s argument that the Commissioner (Appeals) has not properly adjudicated the matter and hence the issue should be set aside cannot be accepted as Assessing Officer at the time of the assessment was of the view that the facts are same and when the issue travelled to the Commissioner (Appeals) without explaining the basis of coming to certain conclusions, made general observations.

Non-resident not liable to pay advance tax on account of default of payer

October 15, 2012 3144 Views 0 comment Print

The undisputed fact in the present case remained that the tax on the entire income received by the assessee was required to be deducted at appropriate rates by the respective payers u/s 195(2) of the Act. Had the payer made the deduction of tax at the appropriate rate, the net tax payable by the assessee would have been Nil. Thus there was no liability to pay advance tax by the assessee.

Despite deferment of Consideration capital gain taxable in the year of transfer

October 14, 2012 9149 Views 0 comment Print

It is clear from the provisions of Sec. 45(1) , being a deeming provision any gain which has arisen during the year has to be taken for consideration irrespective of the fact that the transferor may receive the sale consideration in subsequent years. Further, the observation of the Ld. CIT(A) that in family members cases, for the capital gains arising out of the transfer of shares, the return of income have been accepted by the department under scrutiny assessment, cannot be accepted under the principles of consistency as we are not bound to follow the decisions of the authorities which are inconsistent with the provisions of section 45(1) of the Act.

Reassessment valid if income is inflated to claim higher deduction u/s. 80IA

October 14, 2012 1762 Views 0 comment Print

Only primary fact was that the assessee had earned interest income. We are, however, of the opinion that in the context of the close connection between the petitioner and Aditya Medisales, the fact that the assessee was eligible for deduction under section 80IA of the Act and the interest income received from the sister concern had relevance to the provisions of section 80IA(10) of the Act, primary facts were not on record.
